Iowa: Knoxville Gun Ban Proposal to be Heard Monday!

This is from the NRA-ILA.If you live in Knoxville,Iowa or know someone there.Tell them to oppose this attempt to strip away our rights.Please make your voices heard.

On Monday, November 21, the Knoxville City Council intends to consider a gun-ban that would deny law-abiding Iowans the ability to lawfully carry firearms in any city-owned building.This proposed ordinance is a direct violation of Iowa’s firearm preemption statute. State law prohibits any county, town, or municipality from imposing local firearm laws that do not conform with the statewide standard. Since current state law does not forbid possession of a handgun in these areas by a person with a valid permit to carry weapons, Knoxville may not legally do so either.
